I saw a video yesterday, and can't find it now. It was a series of clips of Kellyanne Conway, before she worked for Trump, demanding to see his taxes, calling him out for his immature outbursts, scamming people out of millions with his fake university.

Yeah, found that. But one video had a whole bunch strung together.

When you look at the archive of the Obama White House page, the issues are listed with no superlative language. Trump's White House is filled with America First Energy Plan, America First Foreign Policy, and Making our Military Strong Again. What a work. They just couldn't listed it as Energy, Foreign Policy and Military.

And do yourself a favor and not read how their bios. One lists important milestones in their life, the other is mainly how the won 'bigly' in the election.

Caught him pretty flush if a little low on the inner jaw. But mostly no rotation. Need to step by with the right foot and use torque to turn back into the punch. Maybe if he approached fro behind it would have helped. To sucker punch and run from the urban backpacker is too much. F

Yeah, I think people are kind of telling on themselves with this outrage over the website transition stuff. Though whatever replaces it will surely have a different take on things. And more tits.

An argument can be made that they should have replaced with their views but I guess no comment is better than an incomplete comment.

Melania Trump does resemble a 60's icon - Lady Penelope from The Thunderbirds.

There's a tendency for "serious" liberals to say that any violence at left-wing protests is necessarily counterproductive. But if you lead rallies where white people chant "Hail Trump! Hail our people!" while making the Nazi arm salute, which that guy Spencer has done, then you 100% deserve to get punched in the face. Good for that guy who slugged him and I hope he doesn't get caught.

I agree. Ultimately I decided to post that because of who he was, and who he represents. There are times to take the high road. This was not one of them.

Come on. This is mind numbingly stupid. Trump himself spent years arguing that Obama was born in Kenya and thus ineligible for the presidency.

Surely you realize he had an agenda right? And besides, that was Trump. He, nor anyone else speaks for me. Neither did Obama.

What part of your assertion that "everyone accepted the fact" that Obama was their President is consistent with the fact that the guy who was just elected President (and you apparently supported) literally started his involvement in politics by questioning the legitimacy of Obama's Presidency?

"What part of your assertion that "everyone accepted the fact" that Obama was their President is consistent with the fact that the guy who was just elected President (and you apparently supported) literally started his involvement in politics by questioning the legitimacy of Obama's Presidency?"

I think everyone accepted Obama's election because there weren't riots and demonstrations like there are now.

Your assumption that I supported Trump is comical. You aren't going to bait me into a battle, because your next assumption will be I'm a racist. Besides, who I voted for is none of your business. (drops mike).

NOw, with that said, you may be one of those folks that loves to argue and fight and be bitter. I'm not. It's a great day here in Texas, it's Saturday, and I'm out of here. Continue to be bitter by yourself. See you.

The hell out of here with that ignorance. Trump ran on the fact a black guy (from Africa!?!?!) was flyover country's president. He ran on fear and loathing.

So we know Trump didn't accept anything. Now let's turn to a GOP congress that essentially refused to do a single thing that may appear to be a bi-partisan effort for at least 6 of his 8 years in office. Do you think they accepted the fact?

Seriously.

Yet that doesn't really have anything to do with your statement that everybody accepted the fact Obama was our president.

I don't understand the protests message today. Signs like hear our voices and ignorance is not a vision. Are people being oppressed?
